Background
STR is domiciled at the 探花精选 since 1959. It was originally established to study the importance of the environment for the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Since then, interest has expanded to almost all common diseases and health problems. We have contacted all living twins and we are now the world's largest twin registry. A substantial number of scientific articles have been published on data from STR and currently approximately 100 new articles come out each year.
